My family is pretty cool. My brother, sister and I were all born in Hawaii. My sister is the only one who has some Hawaiian blood in her. All of us were adopted in Hawaii. It was a weird adoption because the oldest (me) is supposed to be adopted first but my sister, who is younger than me, was adopted first than me. Amy, my sister, and I became close fast. My parents used to call us the giggle girls, because all we did was laugh when we were together. About a year later my brother Michael came to our family. When he came to live with us he did not like his crib. He used to climb out of his crib and down the stairs. Since my dad was in the navy we lived on a navy base house.
We had a lanai, a back porch, and we ate out there almost every night. When the weather was nice we had some company, geckos. Outside of our house we had a play set and down by the water we had stones which we called a wall. Me, my sister, brother, and some friends made a fort by the water near the trees. We also went fishing a lot by the wall and one time I caught a baby ell. Also in the water were these things called sea anemones and when you poked them they closed up, it was even cooler to poke them with your toes and watch them close up. Another thing our family did together was go to a playground that was just down the street. There were swings and sea saws to play on and my dad used to do under dogs on the swings with us. He also used to do spider with us.
Our family did a lot of active things together one of the things was going to the Mini Mart that was half a mile away from our house. We would stop there and my dad would treat us all to ice-cream. Umm! Last thing is that our family loved to go camping, whether or not it was with our church or by ourselves. I think the best camping trips were those when we went with our church. We all had a great time doing a bunching of things. One of those things was swimming over to this little island that was about a quarter of a mile away. We would stay there for a while and swim and hike all around the little island. That was the best part of the whole camping trip.
